Research, HUD.
ACTION: Announcement of funding awards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document
notifies the public of funding awards for Fiscal Year 2003 unsolicited
research. The purpose of this document is to announce the names and
addresses of the organizations that have been awarded cooperative
agreements based on their submission and HUD's acceptance of
unsolicited proposals for research funding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consolidated Appropriations Resolution
of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-7) provided $46,694,500 in Research and Technology
funds for contracts, grants and necessary expenses of programs and
studies relating to housing and urban problems. Included in this amount
are $39,243,250 for core Research and Technology and $7,451,250 in
funding for the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH)
program. The majority of HUD's Research and Technology funding is
awarded through competitive solicitations. The unsolicited proposal is
another method used by HUD to fund research and development. An
unsolicited proposal is submitted to support an idea, method or
approach by individuals and organizations solely on the submitter's
initiative. Funding of unsolicited proposals is considered a
noncompetitive action. An unsolicited proposal demonstrates a unique
and innovative concept or a unique capability of the submitter, offers
a concept or service not otherwise available to the Government and does
not resemble the substance of a pending competitive action. All
unsolicited proposals and the resulting award of cooperative agreements
include substantial cost sharing on the part of the submitter/awardee.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance for this program is
14.506.
In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42
